About Total Teamwork Training:

Biography – each of us brings a distinctive background to our Total Teamwork Training group.  Individually we have either competed in obedience to high levels of training, competed in a variety of dog sports including canine agility, earned tracking dog titles, shown dogs in the conformation ring, done limited breeding, raised and raced sled dogs, visited schools and other facilities with dogs, rescued, rehabilitated and placed or rescued and kept a variety of dogs, and worked in some capacity in the veterinary field. Together we combine our perspectives and backgrounds to find the best way to help our families live with their chosen dogs. We have compiled a library of over 300 books, videos, audio training sessions, and multiple seminar notes. Our education and training continually grows with our participation in ongoing learning opportunities. We have watched and participated as the sport of dog “obedience” has grown and evolved into living with the family pet and training with humane methods.

My personal passion and mission is to help people learn to live successfully with their family dogs. I continually make every effort to give our canine companions the best opportunity to have a happy and stress free life in their human environment. I want people to have and understand the gift that a great relationship with a good dog can offer them. There is much delight in a well trained and stable dog. During my tenure as a veterinary assistant, I was called upon to assist in the euthanasia of dogs for medical as well as behavior related issues. I cried with each death and became more and more resolved in my mission to help dogs stay in their original homes as well mannered and beloved pets. My one on one training and behavior consultations have taken me from my home in Craig to Steamboat Springs, Hayden, Leadville and Grand Junction, Colorado as well as southern Wyoming and Utah.
